Project Nilesh

A lived-in family apartment re-imagined room by room: softer colours, better storage and a kitchen that finally works for the person who cooks in it.

Where it started

Our client loved the apartment's light and the view from the balcony, but not the bright yellow walls, the patterned kitchen tiles or the lack of storage. The family wanted rooms that felt calm and personal.

This is a home people live in every day, so every change had to earn its place. We kept the layout and focused on colour, lighting, storage and furniture.

Seen in 3D first

Every surface, light and piece of furniture was modelled and approved before anything was bought or built. These are the renders the family signed off.

Decisions with a reason

In the living room we swapped strong yellow for warm white walls, kept the family's dark leather sofas and built around them: a timber media wall, a patterned rug and a brass chandelier.
The kitchen gets new cabinets in light oak and cream, a proper extractor, open rails for utensils and under-cabinet lighting. We drew it around how our client actually cooks.
Bedrooms are layered with linen curtains, patterned rugs and built-in wardrobes that replace freestanding units.
Every room was presented as a 3D visualization, alongside a mood board, so our client could see and adjust the result before buying anything.
